The day was sunny and the mood was festive as Cyndi Chen, Tina DeVoe, Julie Hayes, and two youth dancers performed four traditional folk dances—La Jota Moncadeña, Kuratsa, Mazurka Boholana, and Sakuting.
HAPA Filipino Folk Dancers was founded in 2010 to embrace the diverse tradition of dance from the Philippines. The dance group learns, teaches, and performs filipino folk dances at events throughout central Iowa. HAPA practices at Gateway Dance Theatre in Des Moines and is actively recruiting dancers and volunteers. Anyone ages 5 and up is welcome to participate.
